Jassmin's POV

My gold dress was probably the best I had ever worn. It was tight around the waist area and flowed out just below the waist area. A laced design covered my arm. My hair was tied up as a bun and i wore a matching hijab. All my relatives and friends said i was looking pretty. I had a wonderful Walima.

I managed to eat without staining my dress. I had lots of fun. I felt a lot more confident around Amin. I wasn't my usual self -conscious person. The only thing that made me anxious was Amin's ankle. He said he was alright but i didn't believe him. I don't know if my life would be this happy if i got married to yusuf. Amin has quit his job from Yusuf's office and is working somewhere else. Maybe my parents did made the right choice for me.

I came back to my parents house the day after Walima. I missed my family but i think i missed Amin more. I went to my room and jumped into my bed, feeling so relieved. Somehow, i managed to fall asleep.

University had started again after the long break. The week was slow , from monday to friday evening , i will stay with my family. From friday evening to monday morning, i will stay at Amin's house . It will till mynext holidays.

After my holidays, i will move in with Amin permanently. I still miss him although he still calls and texts me.

The first friday came which means i will be staying with Amin, he will be fetching me and Aisha from the university. He was waiting outside the building till our lecture was over. I had few friends who were teasing me when they saw me walking towards Amin , faster with excitement. Aisha and I got into the car. As usual , Amin opened the car door for me.

When i reached Amin's home, my mother - in - law was cooking dinner. I decided to get change and help her. We were in the kitchen preparing dinner, Aisha was inside her room. Amin kept popping in asking if we needed any help. We needed help but kicked him out because of our girly conversations.

Once we were done cooking and having dinner. I borrowed Amin's laptop so that i can do my assignments as i wanted to finish the work faster so that i can enjoy my weekends.

Once i got his laptop, i logged into my email account and found out that the new episode of the Vampires Diaries were out. I was watching twenty minutes into the episode when Amin came into the room and i immediately closed the tab and pretended to continue my essay that was my homework. Amin came and sat next to me.

"It's almost an hour and you only have written ten lines?!"

"Yes, i think i got stuck and need help." I must have looked stupid infront of him. he took the laptop off my lap and studied the screen carefully. Soon enough , he was typing and i was doing nothing.

"Well, i was watching Vampire Diaries." I said honestly, feeling a little ashamed.

"You watch that? i think it's waste of time."

"Well it's not."

"Here read this." Amin handed me back his laptop. i read over what he wrote.

"Wow, that's impressive!"

"Well, not really i mostly got Cs and a few Bs. I am not as smart as you." he said poking my cheeks.

"Anyways thanks for helping me."

"Hey, you wan to go and get some ice- cream?" Amin asked.

"Ice- cream at this hour?! It's almost midnight."

"Why not? i know a shop that sells ice cream and is opened for 24 hours."

"Well, i think i will get fat if i eat too much ice cream."

"Oh come on, i didn't expect you to be like that. Please Jassmin for me at least." Amin showed his cute puppy face which i couldnt reject.

"Alright!" i said giving in. "But we have to take Aisha with us."

"you take her everywhere we go !!"

"Isn't that a good thing? Plus she is my friend since childhood. "

"Well, i want it to be just us two. I can pack her an ice cream on the way back."

"Are you asking me on a date?"

"No , i am not asking , i am taking you out on a date." Amin put on his coat and waited for me to wear my hijab. After that we went the down the stairs.

"Mum,we're going out!" Amin shouted walking out the front door, still holding my hand.

We got to the ice cream shop and sat down. The waiter asked for our orders.

"I would like to have one cup of vanila and choclate"

"Amin i am scared." I told him, he raised an eyebrow at me.

"Of what?"

""Of how happy i am with you now, i didnt know my life would changed just like this. Maybe i am just too happy that i don't know how to react." Amin laughed .

"You are seriously strange! Save this happiness Jassmin. It won't last that long because nobody knows what happen the very next minute. By the way where shall we go during your holidays?"

"Well, i am okay with any country but i have always wanted to visit Egypt, France and Turkey. "

"Okay we will decided about this more towards your holidays."

Just then our ice creams arrived and we ate it . After eating our ice creams, Amin went to packed some for Aisha. On our way back home, I realised on how close I had become to Amin within three weeks.

Yusuf POV

"Hello Yusuf, Uncle Omar here."

"Yes Uncle Omar is something wrong ?" I asked him back because he sound worried.

"Yusuf I am so sorry to say this .... There was a fault in your blood test results. The blood test that we took yesterday shows no sign of cancer."

"What ?!!! How could that be ?" I asked him feeling angry.

" I am so sorry Yusuf! I am really sorry for this mistake. "

" Is okay Uncle. I have some work to do so take care."

With that I hang up the call. So I was alright and perfect. It was the blood test report that was wrong. I should have gone for the second opinion.
I have lost everything including my love , Jassmin. How am I going to face her ? I took out my phone and called Amin, Jassmin's Husband.
